Description
Get in touch with me on facebook, if you like :]Updated on 8/31/2012: Finally got to remaking this piece in higher resolution. I replaced some words with ones that I think fit much better, found a better font, and redid the background. Let me know what you think! :]
================================================
Yes, this is more of a philosophical matter. Ahhh...philosophy...
For those of you who need a few hints with the meaning behind this, here are some basic ideas:
1. Love at first sight doesn't exist.
2. Love is difficult to spot.
3. Blinded by love.
4. Look closely and you will find love.
Hmm...that's all I can think of right now. XD I'd like to see what others have to say about this. :] I'm sure there are people who would disagree with this sentiment.
----------------------------------------------------------
What others (people like yourselves. ;]) have contributed that I hadn't thought of, or are worded more expertly than my meager thrown-together phrases:
5. Love is the last thing that's noticed. (~SiLenT-Snake & ~LiberateTheShyness )
6. One must go through all of the beginning phases before reaching love. (~crimsonregret76 & ~Snoosmumrik )
7. Love is closer than you think. (~No-U-Turn )
8. Love comes last. (~007-BloodyAlaizabel )
9. One needs to spend time to discover love. (~fluffycatgirl )
10. Love is buried under shallow depths and is the deepest feeling. (~1q2w3e4r5t6y )
11. It is not love until you see and experience everything before it. (~elanitakira )
12. Love is only found by those who look for it; it can be hidden under other things. (~cathuhhrine )
& Sagely words:
Love can be buried in shallower feelings,
Love can be impure,
Love can be the only pure thing,
Love can be hidden.
(~hystericritic )
Feel free to add in your comments & opinions, feelings & thoughts. :]

For some reason, lately whenever I hear the word "brilliant", I imagine a light bulb lighting up above someone's head. XP And I have no idea why. XD

it truly is least likely to spot the kind of love that goes way beyond physical attraction, or erotic love first. Eros usually comes first, and so, the quest for agape tends to fall too far behind a person's priorities. But, agape is in a different color, offers a different level of satisfaction, compared to all the other forms of erotic love that came before it. And sometimes, we get to notice the tiny red one first before the others. It is hard, of course, especially when you have really poor eyesight, but it happens. And thus, this comprises life's undefinable, but beautiful ironies.
I love the concept of your art. You did great! Congrats!

Latin! D: I had to reread your entry a few times before grasping what you said. (Such complexity & sophistication!) But I love the theory that you have presented there. Yes, life's ironies.
Thank you for sharing this lovely comment with me~! :] & thanks for the congrats.

Be prepared for a long comment:
First of all, it takes a lot creativity to come up this. I myself have the intelligance and creativity of a spork. Anyway, heres something that really made me happy: You answer your comments, all of them. You have no idea how many artists I've visited today that are popular and have daily deviations and favorites, and who simply refuse to answer ANY comments. You rock!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha. *puts on a helmet.* XD
LOL. "Intelligence & creativity of a spork." That must mean a lot to some people though! Since there are many people out there who LOOOVEE sporks for their usefulness & diversity/multitasking-abilities.
Hehe. Thanks~! I really do think that if someone is willing to take the time in voicing their opinion about something or just plain commenting (the more general, since I can elaborate on all the different kinds of comments, but don't think you'll have the means to stay focused if I go on. XD), they deserve to have the favor returned to them. :] It's a common courtesy that I have. I generally reply. :] & I also do it because I love it when others reply to my comments, too.
Oops. Should I have given you a heads up on how long the reply was going to be?
Thanks again~! & no, YOU rock!

This is such a brilliant idea! A truely well deserved DD!
Bravo!

You're Welcome!

It's brilliant! Very well thought out. I completely understood the meaning at first glance of your art.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks~ Hehe. That's wonderful! It's great to hear about other people understanding exactly what you wanted to convey.
LOL @ your siggy. XD

XD thanks, made it up from watching Bonnie and Clyde I think.
Isn't it though? I love art that way

Indeed a great concept. And it works perfectly. Love surprised me at the end, I only saw it the second time I looked and I was like "Where did that come from?".
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Really? Hehe. I'm actually happy to hear that, since someone suggested earlier that making the word love a different color would have attracted more attention to itself. XP Well, thank you for sharing!

i love the concept behind this! it's true, love is a very tricky thing to spot. i don't believe much in love at first sight, either.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
yeah, it's like how people don't show love very clearly. or like how people do things for love but it doesn't always seem that way to the receiver.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ooh. You have opened a new door for me! (Since I never really thought about that.) Yeah, I guess people don't show love clearly, either that, or they show it a different way (which takes time for the person looking to recognize what it is.)
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Hehe. Thanks~! I believe you're the first to say that you agree with the second theme I have up there. The "Love is difficult to spot".
Heh. I don't think I believe in love at first sight, but for some reason, I always leave room for it to be true/happen. Must be my naive self. XP
Thanks for voicing your opinion. ;]
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
I don't get it...Am I supposed to move away from my computer in order to see if I still see the word 'love'? And if I don't I'm oblivious to love? Is that why people are considering this clever...?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha. XDD No no. It doesn't really require physical movement. XP Perhaps you're over thinking it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
definitely make this a print with poster option and the likes!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hehe. I'll get to it sometime. :3 (I'll need to make a bigger version, since this one is currently too small.) Hmm...I think it'd be cool to have this in the actual size of those eyecharts that are in doctor's offices & at the optometrist's! XDDD I'd definitely hang this in my room. x3
Thanks for the support & comment!

Those who disagree r oblivious to true love.
